| Re: RPD's Yeti. It's getting sway bars. Not the factory one though. I believe the best way to run the sway bar is forward of the shocks running back to the trailing arm in front of the shock. Last edited by Rockpiledriver; 09-30-2014 at 10:51 AM. |

Cool stuff. How well do you think the plastic IFS system will handle 8lbs? Cheers, J |

If you look closely at the pics of the front, you can see that the front suspension is not stock. The lower arms will be the only plastic. They are RPM so I expect them to do fine. The final front end set up as far as axles a locker or not is still being looked at. I want to try open front so that limits my options somewhat. | |

Correction. It will slide in the passenger window after removing the passenger. The "removable dudes" method.

I can't wait to see that with the body off assembled to see how you guys worked out the different sway system. Wheels7 sure does a super nice job. |

I agree, UC Fab chassis are not only works of art, they are properly engineered works of art. | |
